Since I finally finished and returned the library books I borrowed a while ago, I can break into the small stock of books I have purchased in the past few weeks. I have recently discovered a used book store that I previously had never noticed that sells books for a really dang good deal. So I hop in there and pick myself up a few. I also bought one at another bookstore (new and used) a while ago, as well as some that I got for $1 at a yard sale. Oh, and a pair from a regular thrift store.
So, on my shelf of books to read are:
Hunting Dogs, by F.Philip Rice and John I.Dahl, first and second editions ($5 for both)
Hiking with Dogs, by Linda B. Mullally ($1)
Wolves, A Wildlife Handbook, by Kim Long ($2)
Never Cry Wolf, by Farley Mowat ($2)
Your Dog, The Owner's Manual, by Dr. Marty Becker ($10? Can't remember exactly)
The Dog Whisperer, by Paul Owens with Norma Eckoate ($3)
A Good Dog, by Jon Katz (1 of 3 for $1)
Cesar's Way, by Cesar Millan with Melissa Jo Peltier (2 of 3 for $1)
Dog Tricks, by Captain Arthur J Haggetry and Carol Lea Benjamin (3 of 3 for $1)
Note that one book titled The Dog Whisperer. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Cesar Millan butthead. The Dog Whisperer is a positive reinforcement training book, and I am looking forwards to reading it.
The only reason why a Cesar book is on my list is because it was basically free and I have never actually read any crap written by the egotistical bastard. I'm kinda curious to see what he says in it, but not at the same time.
Good list of books.
ReplyDeleteI have some too I need get out to read on spare time. Maybe I'll do that this week.
I have a copy of Never Cry Wolf that's been kicking around for a while... really wanted to read it after rewatching the movie (which I hadn't done since I was a child), and found the film to be much better than remembered. OHHHH, TIME FOR PLEASURE READING, WHERE ARE YOU?! *cry*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's good that you're reading Cesar. It's important to know your enemies.
